[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:21, teaching is definitely a safety related job. We are held accountable if children are injured if we aren’t paying attention. We can even be held accountable for not mentioned our suspicions of emotional harm. But no one is writing teachers up for sitting down for a moment. [/quote]

No but 9:38 apparently wants to burn teachers at the stake for it …  I know she is just another whack job parent but she needs to get a grip.  She is making the rest of us parents look bad by her extreme position.

We cannot equate the general safe-keeping and care by teachers with that required by police officers, doctors and nurses, the military, etc., for the general public  Teachers have a general role in keeping kids safe but it is nothing like those other professions.  Sheesh.  And even those folks get breaks.[/quote]

Perfect DCUM moment: I am 09:38! I teach in a Title I School.

I distinguish between the person who takes a few moments’ break to sit and catch their breath and the people I see actually slacking off during class while poor kids are not learning. No one is being put on a performance plan for sitting for a few minutes, but the teachers who don’t make lesson plans and just wing it or play a movie every Friday... Yeah, I will always come after them. I was a poor kid and school was my salvation. [/quote]

And I stand by my post.  People like you are the problem.  You are using polarizing language and shouting hysterically without a cogent response.  The above is reasonable; your 9:38 response is not.  People like you should not be teaching, and you especially should NOT be teaching our society's most vulnerable children.[/quote]

And yet my students show gains in reading and writing that the teachers who slack say can’t be achieved.[/quote]

How many years have you been doing it?  Do you have children if your own?  Do you think you can keep up this pace indefinitely?  Do you think teaching is a profession that should be done for 5-10 years and then move on for a better quality of life?  Honestly curious about your thoughts.  There were a lot of things I could do in my 20s that I can’t do in my 40s with two kids in elementary school (I’m not a teacher but see my job as somewhat similar in terms of the commitment and zealousness of the young versus what can realistically be accomplished with a lot more responsibilities and competing claims on my time)[/quote]
